New Year’s State of Mind Party at Revolution Deansgate

If you want to party till 4am with incredible cocktails on tap, two floors of great music to explore and a selfie mirror, photographer and videographer at your disposal then Revolution Deansgate in Manchester is the place to be on the 31st December.

This two-level venue is known for having great drinks, some top DJs and they’ve pulled out all the stops for New Year’s Eve 2018 and best of all, the entrance fees are just £5 – £10, so partying in style won’t break the bank!

One of Leeds’ most popular nightclubs, Mint is set to shut down in 2019 so their final New Year’s Eve party is bound to be a big one.

With an unmissable line-up of DJs to keep the party going all night long and tickets costing just £12.50, if you’re spending NYE in the city of Leeds then grab your tickets for Mint!

New Year’s Eve Cruises Along the River Thames

London’s main firework display may be sold out but there’s no need to stay in and watch the display on BBC 1 when you could cruise the River Thames and have a perfect front row seat!

There’s plenty of London NYE Cruises to choose from with the likes of City Cruises, so whether you fancy a romantic dinner with a view or taking your place on a party boat, you can book your tickets for the ultimate New Year’s Eve night out with them!

Hogmanay at the Hilton, Glasgow

Party from 7:30pm to 2am at the swanky Hilton Hotel in Glasgow and enjoy great food and incredible live music from the likes of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Over 18’s only, the drinks will be flowing as you dance the night away and see in the New Year to the sound of some of Glasgow’s best DJs.

Tiger Tiger, Cardiff

Cardiff’s Tiger Tiger nightclub are teaming up with Kisstory for New Year’s Eve 2018 to throw a seriously unforgettable party for everyone in the city of Cardiff.

Tickets are super affordable and you’re promised a night of great drinks and some top throwback tracks to help you dance in the New Year!

If you fancy doing something a little more subdued and special this New Year’s Eve, why not book your tickets for the luxurious evening of wining, dining and dancing at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland.

St Ives Street Party, Cornwall

St Ives celebrate New Year’s Eve slightly differently to the rest of the UK because instead of hosting lots of different parties in different bars and clubs, the whole community comes together for one massive street party!

The roads surrounding the harbour are shut off to traffic and the streets are packed with locals and tourists enjoying the local eateries, entertainment and if the tide is out, it’s time for a NYE beach party!

Family Fireworks at Legoland Windsor

If you’re looking for something to do on New Year’s Eve with the whole family, why not book an overnight stay at Legoland Windsor?

There’ll be great food, entertainment including meet and greets with the characters and an unforgettable firework display, so although this event might be aimed at the younger members of the family, we know there are a lot of grown men out there that would love to celebrate the end of 2018 at Legoland!

I Heart NYE Big Top Party – The MAC, Belfast

The MAC are turning their Big Top venue into the ultimate party hotspot to help you see in the New Year.

There’ll be drinks on arrival, live DJs, fancy dress and karaoke, so what better way to celebrate the end of 2018 in Belfast then to gather all your friends together and sing the night away at the MAC!

With parties like these being hosted up and down the UK, there’s no excuse to sit in on December 31st!
